It is hard to sit idle while our freedoms are violated.

My name is Al. I am not active military or law enforcement. But when the time comes, I will cover my brothers who keep the peace. I have recently been wakened to the danger of disarming American Citizens. It will not happen on my watch.

I am now a marksmanship instructor with RWVA.ORG’s Appleseed Project. Look it up. Appleseed wakes sleeping Americans to teach rifle safety, rifle marksmanship, and the history of the Revolutionary War.

Once you learn the sacrifices of common folks in 1775 to purchase OUR freedoms and Bill of Rights, it is hard to sit idle while our freedoms are violated. Get up. Get to the Range. Become an expert marksman. Read your history. Be prepared to do your part to defend the Constitution from ALL ENEMIES–FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC.

My name is Al. I am a RIFLEMAN.

I am not on active duty and haven’t been for 50 years but I refuse to be silent and watch the country I love go down without a peep. When the chips are down we who served before will serve again. As far as marksmanship goes It’s different for me now. Timing is everything now because now I have to pull the trigger at the right time (when the barrel is dead on the target not when I’m steady) I’ll still try! Your never too old to serve!
We seem to have lost our resolve to uphold the constitution and have moved to much to big Government control and giveaway to the Idle. I don’t mind giving to those that can’t help themselves But even they should be required to contribute what they can to help those around them.

Welcome and thank you for your service – because, even though you are not yet sworn (we will surely see to that at your local/state group), you have voluntarily taken it upon yourself to teach a valuable skill and to ‘tell the story’ of how brave men and women, who only wanted to be left alone on their farms, stared down tyranny 234 years ago.
